CHIBA, JAPAN - SEPTEMBER 15: Visitors wait in line in front of an advertisement of the Final Fantasy XV video game at the Tokyo Game Show 2016 on September 15, 2016 in Chiba, Japan. The Tokyo Game Show 2016 is held from September 15 to September 18, 2016.
The makers of the phenomenal "Final Fantasy" franchise, no less than Square Enix, are also attending the upcoming in-person gaming event.
SEGA, the Japan-based gaming firm behind classical titles, such as Sonic the Hedgehog, is also part of the "General Exhibition."
Not to mention that massive publishers, including THQ Nordic and Koei Tecmo, are also in attendance.
How About Sony?
However, it is worth noting that the "General Exhibition" list missed out on one of the biggest game publishers in Japan, Sony. In fact, both PlayStation and Sony Interactive Entertainment were nowhere to be seen in the said category.
But it appears that Sony is not entirely ditching Tokyo Game Show 2022, its name was oddly listed under the "Indie Game Corner" category.
So, the giant game publisher seems to be focusing on showcasing its indie games and developers this time.
